This image shows Jim, a muscular young man, laughing and joking with Huck and another boy. This picture went along with my interpretation of Jim because like my interpretation it shows a proud, muscular, black man with an uplifting spirit. Even though Jim was a black man growing up in slavery he managed to keep a smile on his face.
In this picture Jim has pulled Huck in close to him and is hugging him, in a sense of comfort, almost like a father would do to a son. This Image reflects my description of Jim because one of Jim's greatest attributes is his thoughtfulness towards others. In this picture Jim looks as though nothing else in the world matters besides providing comfort to his friend.
Least Similar:
In this image Jim is sitting under a tree relaxing and watching a child. This is not similar to my description of Jim because instead of showing a hard working man, this picture shows a lazy slave relaxes under trees all day.
This picture illustrates Jim with a frightened expression on his face, running away from something. This image does not go along with my description of Jim, because I described Jim as a hard working brave man. Even though he ran away in fear that he would be sold, he still showed a lot of courage because of the risk of getting caught.
The image of Huck standing over Jim on his knees asking Huck to spare him is the best representation of the books text. Mark Twain describes Jim as a very superstitious person. There were many examples in the book that showed Jim as a superstitious person. For example, Jim made up this whole elaborate story how he was kidnapped by witches. Jim also believes in a magic clump of hair in which he believes can tell the future. The best example of Jim being superstitious is represented in this image. Rather than assuming Huck is alive, Jim believes he is staring into the eyes of Huck's ghost. Jim then gets down on his hands and knees and begs Huck's ghost to spear him. Jim is a man who would risk his life for others even if he can act foolish at times he always puts others before himself. As I read further in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn the I will learn more about Jim and be able to get a better understanding of Jim's personality and emotions.
